More quotes by Mitch McConnell
The biggest problem confronting the country is our excessive spending. If we're not going to deal with it now, when are we going to deal with it? And we've watched the government explode over the last four years. We've dealt with the revenue issue.
Mitch McConnell
Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?
Mitch McConnell
We didn't make much progress on the country's agenda. And in my view it's because the Senate basically hadn't done much of anything, with a couple of exceptions, for the last four years [of Barack Obama's presidency]. And that's going to change.
Mitch McConnell
After adding trillions to the debt on big-government policies most Americans didn't ask for and which we couldn't afford, Democratic leaders say they need more money, which they intend to take from small business, even though small businesses create the majority of new jobs.
Mitch McConnell
More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.
Mitch McConnell
For everybody who thinks it's warming, I can find somebody who thinks it isn't.
Mitch McConnell
For four years, Americans have waited for the faintest light to flicker at the end of the tunnel. And this President has let them down again and again and again. It is time to move on. It is time for a leader who will lead. That leader is Mitt Romney.
Mitch McConnell
I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001.
Mitch McConnell
While other state governments stiff their vendors, close parks, delay tax refunds, and ignore unacceptably poor service levels, Indiana state employees are setting national standards for efficiency.
Mitch McConnell
I don't think there's any equivalency between the way that the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.
Mitch McConnell
I'm really proud of this Supreme Court and the way they've been dealing with the issue of First Amendment political speech.
Mitch McConnell
It took us in this country 11 years to get from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.
Mitch McConnell
Obama hasn't been working to earn reelection, he's been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour!
Mitch McConnell
Sometime in the near future we'll have a vote on repealing Obamacare, essentially the same vote that we had in 2015. I would remind everyone that in that proposal there's a two-year delay, a two-year delay which would give us the opportunity to work out a complete replacement on a bipartisan basis with our Democratic friends.
Mitch McConnell
Public disclosure of campaign contributions and spending should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate.
Mitch McConnell
We're living under the Obama economy. Any CEO in America with a record like this after three years on the job would be graciously shown the door. This president blames the managers instead. He blames the folks on the shop floor. He blames the weather.
Mitch McConnell
It seems with every new day, we have a new veto threat from the president.
Mitch McConnell
We certainly will have a vote on proceeding to a bill to repeal Obamacare... it was a very large issue in the campaign. And, the reconciliation process does present an opportunity and we're reviewing that to see what's possible through reconciliation.
Mitch McConnell
This heinous crime should be of particular concern to all of us. . . . I know my colleagues will agree that the murder of Americans overseas cannot go unpunished. I will continue to closely follow developments in this case[.]

The minimum wage is mostly an entry-level wage for young people.
